I'm back again...

Oh, after not writing for over a year...and for over a year before that, I have been discouraged in the blog world, but I think I am coming back and for good this time! This time will be a little different...Mommy has taken over the keyboard (sorry, Emmy) and my hope is to write down the happenings in our house. I'm sure most of my postings will be about my precious kiddos, but we'll see where life takes me!
It does make me sad that I don't have so much of Emily's last 2 years documented in some way and I am realizing that I am forgetting so many of the priceless things that she has said and done. The things that come out of her mouth really do make me laugh at some point everyday. I am so thankful, Emmy, for the personality God has given you. I am in love with your sweetness, tenderness, and humor. I also can't believe how smart you are. Just so mommy and daddy can remember, these are some things you have said and done lately...
* "Daddy, you're just tricking me."
* "I haven't gotten enough love today!" (Yah, right!)
* You really want 20 snuggles ALL the time. (We limit it to 3 before school, bed, etc. & 20 when you are picked up from school, wake up in the morning, etc.)
* You really love the Disney princesses. Even though you haven't seen the movies, you love to dress up like them and you want to buy anything you see with their picture on it.
* You love to play "super bouncy ball", dance to the song "Honey, Honey" (from the Mamma Mia soundtrack), color, "cook" blueberry muffins and PB&J's, work puzzles, hop on your blue Dora bouncy ball, do the monkey bars at the park, and make "centerpieces" for our kitchen table.
* You are becoming more independent and love to dress yourself.
* You seem to really like preschool and your finally went potty at school and participated in motor skills! ;)
* You are the BEST big sister to your "bubba", Grant.
This list in no way does justice to the many, many memorable things you do and say...hopefully mommy will stay on top of it now!
Speaking of "Bubba", our sweet baby Grant was born on June 8. Wow, he is already 4 months and 1 week old. Where in the world does time go??? To those of you who know how sad I was when I was told I was carrying a boy (because Emily wasn't going to be able to have a sister and I already had a closet FULL of cutie girl things), well, things have really changed in my world. I am head over heels in love with my little man. I prayed for a little Seth (mild-mannered, sweet, kind, etc.) and I know God answered my prayers. I just took him for his 4 month visit and he weighed 14 lbs., 12 oz. and was 25 3/4 in. long. Grant just makes me smile. He is sleeping great at night...typically from 8:30pm-6:30am. He is starting to "talk" and giggle more. He loves sucking on his hands and anything in his hands (he really won't take a paci and he hasn't found his thumb...hopefully Emily won't teach him!), grabbing toys, standing up tall, and reading books.
I feel extremely blessed to have 2 precious children...

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Image
Can you believe that I'm one year old? I really can't--this year has really flown by! I'm sorry it's been longer than a week since my last post--I've just been so busy planning my birthday party, which is this Saturday at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex Playground. My mama's been working her tail off too, getting everything ready and organized! Today was wonderful (except for about an hour and a half right in the middle--more on that later)! I woke up this morning and Dada was still here--I woke up to him and Mama singing Happy Birthday to me! After that, Mama and I hung out and Dada went to work. We had a really fun morning--I lotioned my skin and brushed my hair, had breakfast and a bottle, and played. After that, I took a nice, long two-hour nap. So relaxing! Then the not-so-fun part of my day started. Mama loaded me up in the car and drove me to Dr. Fischelberg's office. Dada met us there, so I knew this was not going to be fun (if it was going to be a quick t...

Trip to the big "D"

Image
Well, I am back from Dallas. I had a really good time seeing all my family! Mama and Dada kept me really busy! On the flight to Dallas, I was proud of myself...I did really well for being a kid who likes to crawl and move a lot! Dada walked me up and down the aisles and I made a few friends while I was at it! All kinds of people think I am pretty cute and I have to agree with them! When I got to Grammy's house on Thursday, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! There was so much floor to crawl on!!! Even though it was hardwood, I surprised everyone as I went in circles around the kitchen and through the bedrooms. I found I new game I really like...I find something with a smooth bottom and while I am on my knees, I push it around on floor (like I did with the laundry basket!). Very fun game! Oh...and I loved seeing Maggie...aka "baaboo". (That's what I call puppies right now!) We were good playmates for the weekend. I also went swimming! I really was a great swimmer ...

More Broccoli Please!!

Image
Tonight was such a big night...I just had to write to tell everyone about it! After I finished my dinner of chicken, cheese, bananas, grapes, and watermelon I played a little on the floor. Mama and Dada were fixing their dinner...salmon, wild rice, and broccoli. They sat down on the couch to eat while I played, but I started smelling something quite delicious from their plates! I stood up by Mama and started reaching for her food, in hopes she would share some with me. I really wanted to try the "adult" food. First, she gave me some rice on her fork and I loved it. She gave me more and more, but I noticed something green on her plate...it looked like a tree. I reached for it and she said "I don't think you are going to like this" but she let me try it anyways. I LOVE BROCCOLI!!! It had a little lemon juice on it and I thought it was great! I kept asking...whining...reaching for more and she was so happy that I liked it so much. Then, I saw that Dada had some gre...
